For example, a nutrient input may describe the total number of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, additives, enzymes, vitamins, sugar, cholesterol, and the like contained within a specified serving of an edible 124. For instance and without limitation, nourishment information 132 may specify that an edible containing a dinner option containing chicken parmesan with baked ziti contains 1200 calories in a serving size that equates to half of the dinner option. In yet another non-limiting example, nourishment information 132 may specify that a salad containing tuna fish and avocado in a green goddess dressing contains 400 calories in the entire salad, and contains 16 grams of fat, 20 grams of protein, 10 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of sugar, and 6 grams of fiber. Nourishment information 132 may be obtained from third party device 136 and stored within edible database 128. Third party device 136, may include any device suitable for use as user client device 116, as described above in more detail. An entry containing nourishment information 132 may be generated by a meal maker who prepares and/or cooks an edible 124, one or more experts in the field of nutrition and nourishment such as scientists, dieticians, nutritionists, researchers, clinicians, medical professionals and the like. Information relating to nourishment information 132 may be updated in real time, using any network methodology as described herein. Information pertaining to nourishment information 132 may be stored within edible database 128.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 may determine nourishment information 132, using a dietary classifier. A “classifier,” as used in this disclosure, is a process in which computing device 104 sorts inputs into categories or bins of data. A classifier may be generated using a classification process, including a classification algorithm. Classification may be performed using any of the classification processes and/or classification algorithms as described in U.S. Nonprovisional application Ser. No. 16/699,616 filed on Nov. 30, 2019, and entitled “METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INFORMING FOOD ELEMENT DECISIONS IN THE ACQUISITION OF EDIBLE MATERIALS FROM ANY SOURCE,” the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. A “dietary classifier,” as used in this disclosure, is a classifier that uses an edible of interest as an input and outputs, a dietary label using a classification process. A “dietary label,” as used in this disclosure, identifies one or more dietary patterns and/or ways of eating that an edible 124 may fulfill. For example, a dietary label may indicate that an edible 124 containing quinoa linguine cooked with olive oil, basil and tomatoes and topped with shrimp fulfills a Mediterranean diet, a gluten free diet, a dairy free diet, a pescatarian diet, and the like. Dietary classifier may be trained using training data. Training data, as used herein, is data containing correlation that a machine-learning process may use to model relationships between two or more categories of data elements. For instance, and without limitation, training data may include a plurality of data entries, each entry representing a set of data elements that were recorded, received, and/or generated together; data elements may be correlated by shared existence in a given data entry, by proximity in a given data entry, or the like. Multiple data entries in training data may evince one or more trends in correlations between categories of data elements; for instance, and without limitation, a higher value of a first data element belonging to a first category of data element may tend to correlate to a higher value of a second data element belonging to a second category of data element, indicating a possible proportional or other mathematical relationship linking values belonging to the two categories. Multiple categories of data elements may be related in training data according to various correlations; correlations may indicate causative and/or predictive links between categories of data elements, which may be modeled as relationships such as mathematical relationships by machine-learning processes as described in further detail below. Training data may be formatted and/or organized by categories of data elements, for instance by associating data elements with one or more descriptors corresponding to categories of data elements. As a non-limiting example, training data may include data entered in standardized forms by persons or processes, such that entry of a given data element in a given field in a form may be mapped to one or more descriptors of categories. Elements in training data may be linked to descriptors of categories by tags, tokens, or other data elements; for instance, and without limitation, training data may be provided in fixed-length formats, formats linking positions of data to categories such as comma-separated value (CSV) formats and/or self-describing formats such as extensible markup language (XML), enabling processes or devices to detect categories of data.

Alternatively or additionally, and still referring to FIG. 1 , training data may include one or more elements that are not categorized; that is, training data may not be formatted or contain descriptors for some elements of data. Machine-learning algorithms and/or other processes may sort training data according to one or more categorizations using, for instance, natural language processing algorithms, tokenization, detection of correlated values in raw data and the like; categories may be generated using correlation and/or other processing algorithms. As a non-limiting example, in a corpus of text, phrases making up a number “n” of compound words, such as nouns modified by other nouns, may be identified according to a statistically significant prevalence of n-grams containing such words in a particular order; such an n-gram may be categorized as an element of language such as a “word” to be tracked similarly to single words, generating a new category as a result of statistical analysis. Similarly, in a data entry including some textual data, a person's name and/or a description of a medical condition or therapy may be identified by reference to a list, dictionary, or other compendium of terms, permitting ad-hoc categorization by machine-learning algorithms, and/or automated association of data in the data entry with descriptors or into a given format. The ability to categorize data entries automatedly may enable the same training data to be made applicable for two or more distinct machine-learning algorithms as described in further detail below. Training data may be obtained from expert inputs, previous iterations of generating a classification process, and the like.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 is configured generate a score machine-learning process. A “machine-learning process,” as used in this disclosure, is a process that automatedly uses training data to generate a model and/or an algorithm, that will be performed by computing device 104, to produce outputs given data provided as inputs; this is in contrast to a non-machine learning software program where the commands to be executed are determined in advance by a user and written in a programming language. An “score machine-learning process,” as used in this disclosure, uses a performance profile 112 and nourishment information 132 relating to an edible of interest as an input, and outputs an edible score. Generating a score machine-learning process 132 includes training score machine-learning process 132 using edible training data 144. “Edible training data,” as used in this disclosure, is training data containing a plurality of data entries containing a performance profile and nourishment information relating to an edible 124, correlated to an edible score. Edible training data 144 may be obtained from expert inputs and/or previous iterations of generating score machine-learning process 140. Score machine-learning process 140 may be implemented as any machine learning process as described in U.S. Nonprovisional application Ser. No. 16/372,512 filed on Apr. 2, 2019 and entitled “METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR UTILIZING DIAGNOSTICS FOR INFORMED VIBRANT CONSTITUTIONAL GUIDANCE,” the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , score machine-learning process 140 outputs an edible score 148. An “edible score,” as used in this disclosure, is data, including any character, symbolic, and/or numerical data, containing a score reflecting the nutritional impact of an edible on a user's body and/or health. An edible score 148 may be transient and/or dynamic. An edible score 148 may be graded on a continuum, where a score of zero may indicate an edible that will have an extremely poor nutritional impact on a user, while a score of 100 may indicate an edible that will have an excellent nutritional impact on a user. An edible score may be updated based on a serving size of an edible.

With continued reference to FIG. 1 , computing device 104 may be configured to calculate a first edible score 148 for a first edible 124, calculate a second edible score 148 for a second edible 124, and chart the first edible score 148 as a function of the second edible score 148. Charting may include mapping and/or graphing a first edible score 148 as compared to a second edible score 148. For instance and without limitation, a first edible 124 that contains a first edible score 148 of 74 for a first edible 124 containing grilled salmon served with rice pilaf and steamed broccoli may be charted on a graph versus a second edible 124 that contains a second edible score 148 of 22 for a second edible 124 containing fried chicken served with mashed potatoes and gravy. A chart may be displayed within display interface 108 for a user to view a first edible score charted as a function of a second edible score.

Referring now to FIG. 2 , an exemplary embodiment 200 of performance profile 112 is illustrated. Performance profile 112 may include one or more elements of data relating to a user, as described above in more detail in reference to FIG. 1 . A performance profile 112, may include an element of data 204 relating to a user's access to nature and fresh air and/or how many hours a day a user spending indoors under artificial lights. For example, a performance profile 112 may indicate that a user spends on average thirty minutes outdoors every morning before heading to work. A performance profile 112, may include an element of data 208 relating to a user's access to medical care and medical services. For example, a performance profile 112 may contain a biological extraction from a user, such as findings from a CAT (CT) scan, showing a complex bone fracture.

Machine-learning module may perform determinations, classification, and/or analysis steps, methods, processes, or the like as described in this disclosure using machine learning processes, including for example, score machine-learning process 140. A machine learning process includes any of the machine-learning processes as described above in more detail in reference to FIG. 1 . Machine learning module 504 uses edible training data 144 to generate an algorithm that will be performed by computing device 104 and/or machine-learning module 504 to produce outputs 508 such as edible score 148 given data provided as inputs 512, such as performance profile 112 and/or edible 124.

With continued reference to FIG. 5 , edible training data 144 may include any of the edible training data 144 as described above in more detail in reference to FIG. 1 . Multiple data entries in training data 144 may evince one or more trends in correlations between categories of data elements; for instance, and without limitation, a higher value of a first data element belonging to a first category of data element may tend to correlate to a higher value of a second data element belonging to a second category of data element, indicating a possible proportional or other mathematical relationship linking values belonging to the two categories. Multiple categories of data elements may be related in training data 144 according to various correlations; correlations may indicate causative and/or predictive links between categories of data elements, which may be modeled as relationships such as mathematical relationships by machine-learning processes as described in further detail below. Training data 144 may be formatted and/or organized by categories of data elements, for instance by associating data elements with one or more descriptors corresponding to categories of data elements. As a non-limiting example, training data 144 may include data entered in standardized forms by persons or processes, such that entry of a given data element in a given field in a form may be mapped to one or more descriptors of categories. Elements in training data 144 may be linked to descriptors of categories by tags, tokens, or other data elements; for instance, and without limitation, training data 144 may be provided in fixed-length formats, formats linking positions of data to categories such as comma-separated value (CSV) formats and/or self-describing formats such as extensible markup language (XML), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), or the like, enabling processes or devices to detect categories of data.

Alternatively or additionally, and continuing to refer to FIG. 5 , training data 144 may include one or more elements that are not categorized; that is, training data 144 may not be formatted or contain descriptors for some elements of data. Machine-learning algorithms and/or other processes may sort training data 144 according to one or more categorizations using, for instance, natural language processing algorithms, tokenization, detection of correlated values in raw data and the like; categories may be generated using correlation and/or other processing algorithms. As a non-limiting example, in a corpus of text, phrases making up a number “n” of compound words, such as nouns modified by other nouns, may be identified according to a statistically significant prevalence of n-grams containing such words in a particular order; such an n-gram may be categorized as an element of language such as a “word” to be tracked similarly to single words, generating a new category as a result of statistical analysis. Similarly, in a data entry including some textual data, a person's name may be identified by reference to a list, dictionary, or other compendium of terms, permitting ad-hoc categorization by machine-learning algorithms, and/or automated association of data in the data entry with descriptors or into a given format. The ability to categorize data entries automatedly may enable the same training data 144 to be made applicable for two or more distinct machine-learning algorithms as described in further detail below. Training data 144 used by machine-learning module 504 may correlate any input data as described in this disclosure to any output data as described in this disclosure. As a non-limiting illustrative example machine-learning module 504 may utilize performance profile 112 and/or edible 124 as an input and output an edible score 148.

Further referring to FIG. 5 , edible training data 144 may be filtered, sorted, and/or selected using one or more supervised and/or unsupervised machine-learning processes and/or models as described in further detail below; such models may include without limitation a training data classifier 516.

A classifier may be configured to output at least a datum that labels or otherwise identifies a set of data that are clustered together, found to be close under a distance metric as described below, or the like. Machine-learning module 504 may generate a classifier using a classification algorithm, defined as a processes whereby a computing device and/or any module and/or component operating thereon derives a classifier from edible training data 144. Classification may be performed using, without limitation, linear classifiers such as without limitation logistic regression and/or naive Bayes classifiers, nearest neighbor classifiers such as k-nearest neighbors classifiers, support vector machines, least squares support vector machines, fisher's linear discriminant, quadratic classifiers, decision trees, boosted trees, random forest classifiers, learning vector quantization, and/or neural network-based classifiers. As a non-limiting example, training data classifier 516 may classify elements of training data to match certain elements of data contained within performance profile 112. For example, training data classifier 516 may characterize a sub-population such as a cohort of persons that contain user inputs that include sleeping patterns, or user inputs that contain toxicity levels. Training data classifier 516 may analyze items and/or phenomena contained within a performance profile 112 may be selected.

Still referring to FIG. 5 , machine-learning module 504 may be configured to perform a lazy-learning process 520 and/or protocol, which may alternatively be referred to as a “lazy loading” or “call-when-needed” process and/or protocol, may be a process whereby machine learning is conducted upon receipt of an input to be converted to an output, by combining the input and training set to derive the algorithm to be used to produce the output on demand. For instance, an initial set of simulations may be performed to cover an initial heuristic and/or “first guess” at an output and/or relationship. As a non-limiting example, an initial heuristic may include a ranking of associations between inputs and elements of training data 144. Heuristic may include selecting some number of highest-ranking associations and/or training data 144 elements. Lazy learning may implement any suitable lazy learning algorithm, including without limitation a K-nearest neighbors algorithm, a lazy naïve Bayes algorithm, or the like; persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various lazy-learning algorithms that may be applied to generate outputs as described in this disclosure, including without limitation lazy learning applications of machine-learning algorithms as described in further detail below.

Alternatively or additionally, and with continued reference to FIG. 5 , machine-learning processes as described in this disclosure may be used to generate a machine-learning model. A “machine-learning model,” as used in this disclosure, is a mathematical and/or algorithmic representation of a relationship between inputs and outputs, as generated using any machine-learning process including without limitation any process as described above, and stored in memory; an input is submitted to a machine-learning model 524 once created, which generates an output based on the relationship that was derived. For instance, and without limitation, a linear regression model, generated using a linear regression algorithm, may compute a linear combination of input data using coefficients derived during machine-learning processes to calculate an output datum. As a further non-limiting example, a machine-learning model 524 may be generated by creating an artificial neural network, such as a convolutional neural network comprising an input layer of nodes, one or more intermediate layers, and an output layer of nodes. Connections between nodes may be created via the process of “training” the network, in which elements from a training data 144 set are applied to the input nodes, a suitable training algorithm (such as Levenberg-Marquardt, conjugate gradient, simulated annealing, or other algorithms) is then used to adjust the connections and weights between nodes in adjacent layers of the neural network to produce the desired values at the output nodes. This process is sometimes referred to as deep learning.

For instance, a supervised learning algorithm may include performance profile 112 and/or edible 124 as described above as inputs, edible score 148 as outputs, and a scoring function representing a desired form of relationship to be detected between inputs and outputs; scoring function may, for instance, seek to maximize the probability that a given input and/or combination of elements inputs is associated with a given output to minimize the probability that a given input is not associated with a given output. Scoring function may be expressed as a risk function representing an “expected loss” of an algorithm relating inputs to outputs, where loss is computed as an error function representing a degree to which a prediction generated by the relation is incorrect when compared to a given input-output pair provided in edible training data 144.
